Linguine with homemade bolognese. This is just the 45 minute version rather than a 4-hour ragù, but it’s still delicious. And finishing the pasta in the sauce is key. (Ideally I would have served a fairly dry Sangiovese with this, but the Pinot was open.)

Trying to decide whether to buy a pasta maker or just buy several cases of Italian pasta and wait it out.

I got mad enough to change my party affiliation to Independent, but when I went to check on how that would impact my eligibility to vote in primaries, I was reminded that in my state you don't have a party affiliation associated with your voter registration. I CAN'T GET NO SATISFACTION

I saw a couple of little brown ovoids on the carpet and freaked out for a minute that they might be cockroaches or some such, but they turned out to be raisins.

First #spinning project in months. This is Targhee dyed by Fish Bones Fiber. I’m delighted that I bought a double hank of it (8 ounces instead of the usual 4).

Finally got the chicken saag exactly right. Color still bright green, texture puréed but not too smooth, all spices present but not overwhelming. Glad we made a double batch.

I am grateful for the birthday wishes. I am also sad for some I didn't get this year. My mom used to call me every year and remind me that I was a breech birth. And then there is the friend from old Twitter who has always emailed, until this year.

I never got around to lighting anything on fire for my birthday, but I am enjoying a bit of a lovely smoky single malt. (It's Ardbeg Corryvreckan.)

I forgot to skim the foam at the beginning, so the stock ended up cloudy. That's ok, I wasn't aiming for competitive consommé. I have eight cups of homemade chicken stock and it smells great in here.
First fall pot of chicken stock is simmering on the stove. We had quite a lot of bones saved up, in part from the rotisserie chickens we bought during the kitchen construction.

I had to admit to my therapist this morning that the current state of the country exceeds my ability to contingency plan, and that feels like a core failure of my sense of self.
